posting this before i start with my #escapril2025 entries bc to love is beautiful. and if i would love, i would love abundantly. otherwise, why bother loving at all?
love exists even in tumultuous times.
drabble inspired by someone, who is transparently loved by the warmth of the summer sun (and who obviously loves it back)☀️

some of us have already reached our dreams.
while some are in the process of making them come true.
however, on the other side of the planet, some have ceased to dream.
some never even had the opportunity.
let us dream. let them dream.

do you remember your first love? your best crush? or that person whom you thought you will never get over?
remember how your heart ached when you found yourself in a non-negotiable one-sided love? when you bawled your eyes out...thinking you will be in pain forever?
you got over them after some time. you continued to live your life. you might even have found someone to smile about in random hours of the day... someone else who might have left you broken again but eventually got over.
that's a good thing, right? that's what i thought.
i have laid my eyes on a few people through the course of this tumultuous life. some gave me butterflies. some gave me peace. some gave me hurricanes. though always one-sided, i thought i will never get over them each time, but eventually i did. one day i was hurting; then one day i was okay. if i saw them on the streets or heard their name somewhere, i would feel nothing. they became strangers to me.
at first, i liked the thrill of breaking free from puppy loves and parasocial relationships. "i will move on, anyway." how wrong i was.
when i met this person, this question often crossed my mind: just like the people that came before him, will i forget him, too? will i also treat him as a stranger whose presence shall no longer make my heart flutter and skip a beat?
i don't want this feeling to disappear. i want to love this person for a long time.
i hope i can.
